I'm about to use this account to receive payments from an online gaming community. Is there any way to change it so my Legal Name doesn't show when I receive payments? And only make it show when I use PayPal to pay someone. I only want my nickname shown, since that's the nickname I use on the said community, and also I don't wanna reveal any Real Life information about my identity.

If you use a fake name on a paypal account then you won't be able to withdraw the funds and your account when it needs to be verified will be limited.
So no you can't hide your real name on a paypal account transaction.
